This is amazing. On @CNN today: "What the pro-Palestinian protesters on college campuses actually want"

Guess who they quote...

"'We are not going anywhere until our demands are met,' Khymani James, a student at Columbia University..."

Do not mention what James REALLY wants.

The same @washingtonpost article that quotes Hamas-provided casualty numbers without labeling them as such says Israel has not provided "**significant** evidence" that Hamas used a hospital as a base of operations.

This @NYTimes story included a line about the "rubble of the ruined hospital" and was not corrected for 20 hours.

The really egregious part is that this was the TIMES'S own characterization of the video.

Here's the Florida Bar profile of the @splcenter attorney Thomas Webb Jurgens arrested this week. An email to the SPLC address listed below did not get bounced back, but another email to a non-existent name did, so seems to confirm it's a legit address.
floridabar.org/about/section/… Image Here's the rejected email. I did not get a similar reply for an email to the Jurgens address. Image

After YEARS of publishing on its website that at 5-6 weeks of a pregnancy, "A very basic beating heart and circulatory system develop," Planned Parenthood has decided... it really doesn't. Now: "It sounds like a heartbeat on an ultrasound, but it's not a fully-formed heart..."
1/ The change happened sometime in the past two months (after the Supreme Court's Roe decision.) As of 7/25/22, an archive of the website shows the original wording. The rest of the page remains unchanged and there's no note to indicate the update was made.

UPDATE: There's no update.

Nicholas Roske was indicted by a federal grand jury for the attempted assassination of Brett Kavanaugh yesterday. The last @NYTimes article to mention Roske was a week ago.

So, today Nicholas Roske was indicted for the attempted assassination of Brett Kavanaugh, Supreme Court Justice. We also learned the assassin texted his sister while waiting outside Kavanaugh's home. The sister convinced him to call 911.

Sorry, @nytimes readers. Spoiler! Reminder:

Federal Officials Close Review of the Officer-Involved Shooting of Jacob Blake justice.gov/opa/pr/federal… Rather than run a story on last week's Justice Dept decision to close the Jacob Blake police shooting case, the @nytimes simply tacked a few paragraphs at the end of a "What We Know About the Shooting of Jacob Blake" piece first published in Sept. 2020...

"Villages where cloth masks were distributed experienced a 5 percent reduction in symptoms..."

"villages where surgical masks were distributed saw a reduction of 12 percent."
poverty-action.org/study/impact-m… This seems a little odd... if your study is trying to determine the efficacy of mask wearing, how are you remaining neutral with "text message reminders about *the importance of mask-wearing*"?

@NYTimes edits out "unarmed" from @AttorneyCrump's tweet about the Makiyah Bryant shooting (Bryant was swinging a knife at someone when she was shot by police):
nytimes.com/2021/04/20/us/…
Especially egregious given that the @NYTimes repeatedly parroted @AttorneyCrump's lie that Jacob Blake had no knife:

April 17, @nytimes: "officer chased down a 13-year-old boy in a West Side alley & fatally shot him as he turned with his hands up." ImageImageImage The April 17 article opens with the story of the 13 year old who was shot, first paragraph - doesn't mention gun. Waits to grafs 12 & 13 to even mention that the boy had what "appears to be a gun" even though the Times reported on 4/16 that he had one a second before he was shot. ImageImageImage

1/ Still not seeing this reported anywhere, but correct me if I'm wrong. @Washingtonpost /FBI warning story today quoted some threats regarding the January 6th Capitol events. I found two of those threats in archived pages from TheDonald.Win, a pro-Trump message board. 2/ I have tried to contact the moderators of TheDonald.Win and the press office of the FBI, but neither have responded at this point.

The threat referenced in this Post story appears to have been posted on TheDonald dot Win site on January 2 by a user (since deleted, as was the post) named "EagleKneivel" who joined the site on 12/22/20. The post is archived on the Archive dot com site: Image Archive dot *org, I mean

"Some of my colleagues have claimed that, even though they agree that President Bush has won Ohio, they must take this opportunity to speak about the need for electoral reform. I submit that hijacking a presidential election to use as a personal soapbox is shameful."@senatemajldr "But if electoral reform is needed, Senators should introduce legislation. They should not obstruct a legitimate count of the electoral votes where there is an unequivocal victor. They should not trample on the proud republican government our Founding Fathers bequeathed us."
